Finding data for short term rentals

Hey guys.

I was wondering how everybody goes about researching and figuring out the ideal location to invest… I have been looking around North Carolina and I am thinking about Brevard as a potential area to invest for short term rentals… I was wondering where you get your data from? Based on my experience in Brevard, I have been able to get a lot of hiking and climbing in, as well for access to places like waterfalls and sliding rock, a well known attraction of Brevard

Are there any pieces of data that you look at when trying to figure out how often places are rented out? Is there a way that you determine how to not overpay for a property? Any key data points you look for? (such as in LTR where you look for increasing population, jobs, crime rates etc).

What sites do you use?
